Released ON a Novel Law Point.
HOW A CHICAGO LAWYER SECURED THE DISCHARGl
OF AN ALLEGED DIAMOND THIEF

CHICAGO, Jan. u.-Frank r. Nagle, alias Harry
C. DrummOnd, StO.e about 500 worth OF diamonds
from Mrs Lawrence, with whom he boarded, some
months ago. He was arrested in New Jersey and
brought back. His counsel secured his release yes
terday on a writ OF habeaS corpus on point or
law as novel as 1t was effective. Nagle had waived
examination before justice, and had been CON-
mitted without further parley. His counsel In
sisted that the Justice had exceeded his power by
making the commitment without hearing the evi-
dence OF the state and Judge Altgeldt sustained
the point AS the state, taken wholly unawares,
had no evidence at hand yesterday the court ruled
that he had no power to hold him, and ordered his
discharge. This ruling is new, and will be OF tar
reaching consequences In criminal practice.

A CHICAGO FIRM CHARGED WITH VIOLATING II
IrurE

AGREEMENT WITH THE KNIGHTS.
CHICAGO, Jan 1.-THE four assemblies OF shoe
makers in this city held joint meeting last night
and considered the question OF boycoUting the ive
firms In the city who, they claim, have violated
the agreements signed some time ago. The
speeches made in nearly every case advocated the
use OF the boycott ON one firm at east-that OF C..
H. Fargo Co. The speakers charged that last
November the firms contract for about 125 men at
the Iona Mich, penitentiary expired; but instead
OF abiding by their agreement with the knights,
the firm renewed contract OF 15O men for ten
years with the Jackson, Mich, prison. The firm,
1t was charged, had in this City about seventy
knights OF labor employed, but as soon as the con-
tract with the Jackson prison was made these
seventy men were thrown out or employment, and
in addition the drm removed its machinery TO
jackson. Resolutions will be presented TO the
district assembly strongly recommending that a
boycott be issued against c. H. Fargo & Co.

the Chicago Haymarket riot. This is based on the
fact that his friends In jail were anarchists and
that two OF them say he wrote many OF the most

organ before the riot It is thought that he feared
for that crime.

Mortar Which Never Hardens.

An intelligent and practical builder
states it as the result Of his experience
and observation that mortar in the in
terror of walls, especially if it be what is
called rich mortar, is liable never to
harden, but to retain its soft consistency
even for centuries; but this can only he
the case where the interior Of the wall is
hermetically sealed against the external
air, which method both arrests evapora-
ton and shuts Off the chemical operation
Of the atmosphere. The fact has been
stated that in England, not long ago. an
architect dug into stone wall 500 years
old and Of considerable thickness, and
took from between the stones q quantity
Of mortar as soft as it must have been the
day the wall was built, and discoveries of
the same character have been made in
other places. 1t is also stated that the
possibility of such an occurrence may be
tested in very easy way, namely, by
putting some rich mortar into glass bot
tie and hermetically sealing 1.-THE fact
being that it will never become any
harder than when it was put into it.

AT one of his Northfeld meetings on
Monday, Mr.. Moody, who was preaching
about Prayer" said: 'Man may pray
like saint, but if he has dollar in his
pocket not acquired honestly, his prayer
is sham, and he must make restitution
if he expects ever to have God hear his
prayer" Thereupon merchant from
Dallas, Tex, rose in the audience and
told story that emphasized this point.
He had, he said, got dishonesty from
men in his business some 5000, and
had built house with the money. Then
Mr.. Moody happened along and preached
ON this subject of restitution and the
merchant was present, Il heard you, "
he said, pointing to MIR. Moody, ''and
went out into the street conscience
stricken. | went straight home and told
my wife that we must sell that house
and restore the money. And we did.
We hold an auction, and cur carpets, our
iaces, our furniture all left us, ald with
the proceeds we made restitution" The
man then told how he and his wife
started again in life with nothing, and
how he had prospered, His credit, his
prosperity had never been SO good.-New

''Ycs, there is just as much fashion
about cane as any article of DRESS" said
Fulton street dealer to me few days
ago. "You see it is the policy of the
trade to change the style of cane every
season. If this were not done our Gus
toners would carry the same cane year in
and year out, A few years ago, very
light, thin canes were the proper thing,
but today the heavier the stick q man
carries the heavier swell he is supposed to
be. The buck handle canes are still very
popular, but if you wish to be right up
to the latest style you should carry q
natural wood bent handle stick. A mar
row silver or gold band sets off the stick,
but the uglier the stick itself, the more
fashionable it becomes. The silver and
gold handled canes are always correct,
and if you wish to make present to al
old gentleman you should give him a gold
headed cane with his name engraved
upon it. Orange wood canes are very
popular just at present, and the ugly
black thorn sticks are coming int
fashion. A light, straight fibered hickory
stick with a round head is one Of the
novelties introduced this spring and rare
imported woods are being made up into
sticks for the better class of trade. -

A Little Girls Long Journey.

There arrived in San Francisco the other
day little German girl who Travelled
alone from her native land. Her name is
Cresencia Schwartz, and her age is II
years. Without understanding one word
of English this little Teutonic maiden
traversed the broad Atlantic ocean and
crossed the American continent without q
companion, trusting solely for her safety
during her 1900 miles journey on the
kindness of the people whom she Glanced
to meet. Her widowed mother In Ger
many was too poor to support her, and,
an uncle in San Francisco having offered
to adopt her, the mother prepared little
baggage, gave q kiss of farewell, and dis
patched her daughter on the long journey,
which occupied two months.-San Fran

Edwin Booth told me curious story
about dog that's worth printing. MRS.
Booth had a little pet dog uc which She
was very fond, and Mr.. BOO was in the
habit of holding this dog On lis knee, and
perhaps, during u conversation, pinChing
his ear, in kind OF unconscious way.
They went 10 Europe and lgIt the dog al
home, and as they We're avay for soIno
time when they returned the dog did not
seem to remember them much. Ad~.
Booth indeed did not seem to be recoqni2el
when he came back, ana for week O. 80
the dog went about them in purely per-
functory way. One day he had the dog
on his knee and in the old unconscious
way began pinching his csr. The dog
looked up at him for a moment, and thcn
jumped up and licked his hand and ,uala
every possible demonstration Of delight.
He had not recognized Mr.. BOO. ur.l
that old habit disclosed their farli'i.r re-

A recent bulletin of the United States
fish commission reports the capture Of a
Goldfish at Gloucester, Mass, in Septen1-
Der, 1886, which contained pocketknife
of curious workmanship iInbedded in its
flesh. The knife has a brass handle curved
and tapering, with a slit in the hollow
side for the blade, which is of lance shape.
1t is six and one-quarter inches long, and
it is thought the owner must have been
some aborigine, or perhaps sailor. The
knife was discovered by accident in hand
